Improved water management system for toxic textile effluents developed

Indian researchers have developed an improved water management system that can completely reuse dye wastewater from textile industries, eliminating its toxicity and making it suitable for domestic and industrial usage, the Department of Science and Technology said on September 9. High cost The stand-alone advanced oxidation process treatment technique for colour and odour properties in industrial effluents may be insufficient to meet the set government standards and is also limited due to the high cost of AOPs involving continuous supply of chemical reagents. The much-improved AOP technology targeting zero discharge water management system is being utilised for complete reuse of industrial dye wastewater for domestic and industrial usage at a rate of 10 kilo litres/day. The treatment of toxic and highly carcinogenic industrial dyes of textile effluents is performed using this AOP technology for degrading and mineralising recalcitrant organic matter from effluent wastewater.
